AIMS:
SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at
attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these
areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and
people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular
focus will be put on methodology.
VENUE:
SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.
SCOPE:

methods (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:
